The Egyptian economy is recovering
In a recent report, the Ministry of Planning, Economic Development and International Cooperation announced a noticeable improvement in the growth rates of the Egyptian economy, as the gross domestic product recorded a growth rate of 4.77% during the third quarter of the fiscal year 2024-2025. This is the highest quarterly growth rate Egypt has witnessed in three years, and comes compared to only 2.2% in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year.
In detail, the Ministry confirmed in its new report that the non-petroleum manufacturing sector continues to achieve increasing performance, as well as the tourism sector (restaurants and hotels), and the communications and information technology sector. These are the sectors around which the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are centered in all their social, economic and environmental dimensions.
The Ministry confirmed in its report that this growth reflects a sustainable recovery and increasing flexibility of the Egyptian economy in the face of global challenges, and that it is mainly due to the government’s continued implementation of the reform agenda within the national program for structural reforms. It is a program that is considered an essential pillar for maintaining macroeconomic stability, improving the governance of public investments, and enhancing competitiveness in the Egyptian economic sector by supporting the role of the private sector in various productive sectors.
The role of exports and private investment
As for government spending, exports clearly supported this economic growth. It contributed about2.7 percentage pointsto the total real growth of the GDP. This contribution came as a result of the strong increase in the exports of goods and services sector, far exceeding the increase recorded in imports, which amounted to 18.7% of GDP.
The private investment sector also witnessed a noticeable acceleration of 24.2% on an annual basis during the third quarter of the fiscal year 2024-2025. This sector – the private investment sector – accounted for about 62.8% of the total investments implemented. Which directly supported economic growth rates.
Improvement in industrial activity and future prospects
As for the industrial production index (excluding crude oil and petroleum products), it rose by 16.03% during the third quarter of the fiscal year 2024-2025, after recording a contraction of about 4% in the same period last year. This accelerated recovery is due to the rise in production in a number of major industries, such as the automobile industry (93%), the ready-made clothing industry (58%), the beverage industry (34%), the paper industry (20%), and the textile industry (17%).
Despite the continued global uncertainty – due to regional tensions and global conflicts – preliminary growth indicators remain positive regarding the growth of gross domestic product in the Egyptian economy during the fiscal year 2024-2025, as the Egyptian economy is expected to achieve a growth rate higher than the target rate of 4%, supported by an increase in private investments and a noticeable recovery in the industrial sector in all its branches, in addition to the strong performance recorded during the first nine months of the fiscal year.
So, this recent positive performance in the growth rates of the Egyptian economy shows exceptional flexibility and a great ability to recover regardless of the regional and international challenges, driven by strong growth in vital sectors, such as industry, tourism, and communications, in addition to the increasing role of exports and private investment. This noticeable improvement undoubtedly confirms the feasibility of the government’s reform agenda and the extent of its commitment to strengthening the role of the private sector. Which heralds a promising and sustainable future for the national economy.
In conclusion, theThe Earth Guards Foundation confirms that this positive economic performance is the result of thoughtful planning and structural reforms, which clearly demonstrate the ability of the Egyptian economy to confront global challenges. Because the achieved growth is not just static numbers, but rather a pulse of life resonating in the veins of the national economy, and a reflection of a comprehensive vision aimed at improving the lives of citizens. Hence, the Earth Guards see in these achievements a glimmer of hope that illuminates the path to sustainable development, and places the Egyptian economy among the leading economies within the framework of achieving “Egypt Vision 2030.”
